The first issue of this monthly periodical, founded and edited by Mateusz Gliński, was published in 1924. According to its prospectus (1924), the journal's mission was:

to unite all healthy currents of our musical life under the banner of culture and progress. It does not belong to any camp, party, or coterie. Its interest in modern musical trends is combined with reverence for the past and respect for every serious artistic endeavor stemming from genuine love of art; its pursuit to connect Poland's musical life with European artistic movements is coupled with active concern for the development of Polish national art and preservation of its autonomous ethnographic elements in their pure form.

The publication was produced at the National Printing House, situated at 44 Chłodna Street in Warsaw.
